Fix multi-window architecture and swap file cleanup

Multi-window:
- Per-window ImGui contexts (fixes input, scroll, and rendering isolation)
- Per-instance scroll and mouse state in ImGuiRenderer (no more statics)
- Proper GL context activation during window destruction
- ValidateBufferIndex guards against stale curbuf_ across shared buffers
- Editor methods (CurrentBuffer, SwitchTo, CloseBuffer, etc.) use Buffers()
  accessor to respect shared buffer lists
- New windows open with an untitled buffer
- Scratch buffer reuse works in secondary windows
- CMD-w on macOS closes only the focused window
- Deferred new-window creation to avoid mid-frame ImGui context corruption

Swap file cleanup:
- SaveAs prompt handler now calls ResetJournal
- cmd_save_and_quit now calls ResetJournal
- Editor::Reset detaches all buffers before clearing
- Tests for save-and-quit and editor-reset swap cleanup
